Setting up CI/CD Using GitHub Actions
GitHub Action is a task you want to achieve at a certain event.
For example, on Push to a master event, you want to build, run tests, create a docker image, push to docker hub, and deploy to Kubernetes.
Build, run, create, push, and deploy are all GitHub Actions.
GitHub has a repository in which you can find an action for pretty much any task you want to achieve, check it out.
You can also write a custom action but this is out of the scope of this tutorial.

Defining the use case
We will write a sample application using spring boot (it doesn’t really matter) and we will run the following workflows:
- On push to Feature branch
Run tests2. On push to Master branch
Run tests -> Push to docker hub -> Deploy to K8s
